This is a seller’s market for this piece of gear at US$1,995. Against your own comparable set, it’s far above the US$1,112 75th percentile and miles over the US$230 median, so this reads as ambitious rather than competitive. The benchmark data says the market’s upper end is already well below this ask, so I’d only get excited if there’s something unusually special here.
The upside is that this is a respected tuner from a classic Scott-era design: good FM front ends are prized for strong sensitivity, clean stereo lock, and a musical presentation when properly aligned. If it’s truly clean, all-original, and recently serviced with verified performance, that can justify paying up more than a dusty project unit. But at this price, I’d want proof of alignment, reception stability, and no hidden restoration needs before treating it as a serious buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
H.H. Scott emerged as a cornerstone of American hi-fi in 1947, founded by MIT-trained engineer Hermon Hosmer Scott in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Initially housed in an old shoe factory, the company built on Scott's pre-war innovations in noise suppression to pioneer FM tuners and stereo integration, distinguishing itself from an earlier Chicago firm by adopting the H.H. initials. This heritage positioned H.H. Scott at the forefront of the post-war audio boom, shaping the golden age of high-fidelity sound.
The brand focused on premium home audio components, excelling in tube amplifiers like the legendary 299 model, groundbreaking FM stereo tuners such as the 350, and integrated receivers. Its product range emphasized engineering precision in amplification and tuning, delivering exceptional clarity and performance that defined mid-century listening experiences.
Today, H.H. Scott holds iconic status among vintage collectors and audiophiles, revered for its benchmark role in establishing hi-fi standards during the 1950s and 1960s. Though production ceased decades ago, restored originals command premium prices in the niche market for golden-era American gear, prized for their robust build and timeless sonic excellence.
